Girls’ Generation Hyoyeon was a victim of a male invading her personal space during her performance at the World Club Dome in Incheon. She was invited on stage by DJ Dimitri Vegas along with DJ Raiden, who had previously also worked with fellow SNSD member Yuri.

In the video clip taken from Hyoyeon’s Instagram Live, viewers could clearly see a male approach her, and then Hyoyeon was heard saying “Excuse me, don’t touch me. Don’t touch me.”

Hyoyeon repeated “don’t touch me” several times, making herself clear that she was not okay with being touched or being on the receiving end of any physical contact, but the person in question did not immediately comply.

A male voice could later be heard saying “as long as you’re on stage, these are my rules, and you don’t film me.” Some fans believe the voice that belongs to this person is the same person who was touching Hyoyeon when she didn’t want to be touched.

Girls’ GenerationHyoyeon‘s bright and tough personality may make you think that she has high confidence in herself, but that wasn’t the case.

It’s true that before her debut, Hyoyeon was the same optimistic, bright girl. But she revealed on Secret Unnie that her confidence dropped dramatically after a few years after her debut.

“Just by looking at the article, you see that I had so much confidence. It made me think about how hard I worked to debut.

It saddens me to see articles that came out 2~4 years after my debut, describing how I lacked confidence and had a lot of worries on my mind.”

She shed tears as she looked back on the Hyoyeon who blocked out the hardship, which ultimately decreased her confidence

In a recent interview, Hyoyeon revealed that she was able to regain her confidence as she continued to learn and grow as a member of Girls’ Generation! Now, she simply enjoys sharing who she really is without worrying about what others would think.

“As time passed, I felt less burdened by the public’s interest. It became fun to show who I was and share what I loved. In contrast, I realized that I need to live a better life.”
